Hello all,

I read on the min specs:

-On PPC based Macs, we recommend a 500MHz G3 processor or better.

is a 400MHz G4 better. is it enough.

I don’t think Unity makes any use of Altivec, so a 400MHz G4 isn’t going to be better than a 500MHz G3, but it doesn’t hurt to try. It’ll run, no doubt, but only really simple stuff will get good framerates. It’s free to try anyway…

Put it this way. I can barely use it with my 700 MhZ G4. Web Players get low low framerates. And unless you have a good graphics card things will show up incorrectly. :frowning:

Moldorma you better sus out your workflow 'cause me and Pete both use 733mhtz g4s and they crank. Are you combining everything in your moddelling app to become one object before importing? makes a huge difference.

It ran ok on my 32mb gforce 2 videocard now I have a 128mb Radeon9800pro, and things are luscious…
